We’re excited to announce that Volotea is the first European airline to collaborate with 280 Earth, a leader in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. This marks 280 Earth’s first partnership in Europe, opening new opportunities to explore innovative carbon removal solutions. ? ???What this partnership means: ???Two-year?MOU?agreement – Exploring high-quality carbon credit solutions and certified emissions reduction projects. ???A key step in our sustainability strategy – Supporting innovative technologies that advance environmental responsibility in aviation. ???Innovation-driven partnerships – Unlocking new ways to reduce aviation’s environmental impact. ? ???What is Direct Air Capture (DAC)? DAC removes CO? directly from the air, helping reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases. 280 Earth, originally developed at X, The Moonshot Factory (formerly Google X) and backed by Alphabet, is at the forefront of this breakthrough approach. Their first DAC facility in The Dalles, Oregon, is already operational, with plans to scale. ? As part of our?Voloterra?sustainability program, we’ve launched over 50 initiatives?since 2012?to cut emissions, already reducing CO? emissions per passenger-kilometer by 47%. We’ve committed to a 50% reduction by 2030—and expect to reach this four to five years ahead of schedule. ? This collaboration allows Volotea and 280 Earth to explore carbon removal solutions, financing mechanisms, and emissions reduction projects that could support aviation’s sustainability goals, including the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).? ? We look forward to working with 280 Earth and thank them for their trust in us as their first airline partner in Europe.? ? #Volotea #280Earth #DirectAirCapture #CarbonRemoval #SustainableAviation?#CORSIA?#Innovation
